STF Panel Backs Preventive Jail for 'Careca do INSS' and Camisotti in 2–0 Vote After Gilmar Mendes Declares Impediment

The case stems from a PF probe into alleged improper discounts that routed R$53.5 million to firms linked to Antunes within a scheme estimated to have cost R$6.3 billion.

Gilmar Mendes não votará no referendo da decisão de Mendonça que decretou as prisões dos empresários.

Overview

  • The STF’s Second Panel opened the virtual review on September 26 and has two votes from André Mendonça and Edson Fachin to maintain the detentions, with the session scheduled to close on October 3.
  • Gilmar Mendes declared himself impeded under article 252(4) of the Code of Criminal Procedure, and his office did not disclose the link that prompted the decision.
  • Antônio Carlos Camilo Antunes and Maurício Camisotti were arrested on September 12 by order of Mendonça after the PF reported ongoing asset dissipation and continued criminal activity.
  • Investigators say Antunes helped orchestrate improper associative discounts and that people and companies tied to him received R$53.5 million, with losses estimated at R$6.3 billion between 2019 and 2024.
  • At a CPMI hearing on September 25, Antunes declined to swear to tell the truth, acknowledged providing services to investigated associations, denied responsibility, and said he does not know former minister Carlos Lupi.
